DANA POINT : Dana Hills Student Wins Science Award
A Dana Hills High School student was recently named a winner of the annual Bausch & Lomb Science Award, given at more than 6,500 schools throughout the United States, Canada and several other foreign nations.
Principal Rickie Lundgren, who recently awarded the medal to Robert Hefty of Laguna Niguel, said the award is “especially significant because it recognizes the junior student at our school who has attained the highest scholastic standing in science subjects.”
More than 350,000 medals have been awarded to outstanding science students since the program began in 1933.
As winner of the award, Hefty is eligible to apply to become a University of Rochester Bausch & Lomb Scholar. This designation carries with it a minimum of $5,000 a year for four years in scholarship money.
